Brlckloy, the Crimson fullback, has led to much delving Into- gridiron 'records to ascertain whether the feat was a record one, as" assertod Try many immediately imme-diately after the' same. Careful research re-search has proved that Brickley did not make a new field goal record, but merely mere-ly tied tho one made by Bernle Traf-ford Traf-ford of the Harvard eleven of 1880 in the gamo with Cornell on November 1 of that year In somo respectB Traf-ford'a Traf-ford'a record was better than Brlckley's, Blnce all of his kicks were drop-kick field goalu, while Brickley scored four In this manner and one from placement, place-ment, The Cornell team of 1SS0 was very weak compared to the Tale eleven that faced Harvard on November 22 of this year. The Crimson combination defeat ed the Ithaca team of 1S30, 77 to 0, and Trafford lcked behind a defense that was never tried in the manner that tho Harvard eleven of 1913 was while holding hold-ing back the Ells who aimed to block Brlckley's kicks. Trafford, never hurried hur-ried at any time, kicked five drop-kick field goals out of seven attempts from the thirty and thlrty-flvn yard lines, averaging av-eraging thirty-three yards for a,ll five.

Famous Long Run. Other football records which have been reported as broken this season Include the lonff field run and high score, but in neither case do the 1913 performances rank with those of other games. The longest run of football fs credited to "Walter "Wal-ter Eckersall of tho University of Chicago Chi-cago team, who ran 106 yards in the game of 1904 against Wisconsin. Eckersall Ecker-sall caught the ball on a klckoff and ran from virtually hla own goal line across Wisconsin's at the other end of the field, passing the ontlre Badger eleven In his flight. The record run from scrlmmago is held by H. M. Coleman of Wisconsin, who picked up the ball on a fumble In the ailtfnesota game of 1891 and ran 105 yards for a touchdown. There have been an unusual number of blp: scoree rolled up during tho 1913 season, sea-son, and several of these have been asserted to be records. Evansville, Ind., high school defeated Rockport.

Coach "Hurry-up' Yost tells an amusing story In connection with this game. Enough Is Enough. The contest was specially arranged and hold during the Buffalo exposition of 1901, Yost brought bis famous "polnt-a-min-uto" machine from Michigan and the Wolverines proceeded to score touchdowns touch-downs on almost every play. Buffalo had but. eighteen players In the squad, and soon all were badly used up. In order to continue it was necessary to relay these men. It was against the rulos of thoso days to, return a player to the game once he had been taken out, but Yost agreed to waive this rulo -under the con- dltlons. Late In the game be saw a form huddled up under a Michigan blanket on his side line, an fearing that one of his men had been hurt, Yost went over and lifted the blanket. Underneath lay a Buffalo uniformed player, "Got over on your own side of the field," anid Yost. "Thla is Michigan territory." ter-ritory." "Not for a thousand dollars." replied '.the player. "If I go back thoy will put me In the game again, and Tve been, in and out five times now. I know when Fvo got enough if you don't," |
